Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) provides optimized solubility, superior bioavailability, and enhanced functional versatility. Designed for pharmaceutical, biomedical, and industrial applications, it ensures effective drug delivery, extended stability, and high adaptability.
Product Overview
Carboxymethyl Chitosan (CMCS) is a chemically modified derivative of chitosan, known for its excellent water solubility, strong biocompatibility, and biodegradability. CMCS has shown promising applications in medicine, tissue engineering, wound healing, and antibacterial treatments. Notably, it holds great potential in drug delivery systems and tissue regeneration.
Key Features
- Improved Water Solubility: The carboxymethylation process significantly enhances the solubility of chitosan, especially under neutral or alkaline conditions.
- Biocompatibility: Retains the biocompatibility of chitosan, allowing for good interaction with human tissues and cells while minimizing inflammatory responses.
- Biodegradability: CMCS is biodegradable, being broken down by endogenous enzymes, which helps minimize long-term accumulation risks in the body.
- Chemical Functionalization: The carboxyl groups introduced during modification provide active chemical sites for further functionalization, making CMCS adaptable for various applications.
- Enhanced Adsorption Capacity: The introduction of carboxyl groups increases CMCS's adsorption capability, particularly for drugs, proteins, and other biological molecules.
- Gel Formation Ability: CMCS can form gels, making it suitable for drug delivery and tissue engineering as a 3D scaffold to support cell growth.
Applications
- Pharmaceuticals: In drug delivery systems, CMCS can act as a carrier for drugs, facilitating controlled release and improving therapeutic efficacy.
- Tissue Engineering: Due to its biocompatibility and osteogenic properties, CMCS is widely applied in tissue engineering, including bone tissue regeneration in oral applications, dental tissue regeneration, and periodontal tissue repair.
- Wound Healing: CMCS promotes wound healing by stimulating the growth of fibroblasts and keratinocytes, accelerating the tissue repair process.
- Antibacterial and Antifungal: CMCS exhibits antimicrobial properties, making it suitable for infection prevention and as a wound-healing agent.
